CHOLERA CLOUDS.
Mayor Hewitt Writes a Letter to Presi-
dent Cleveland.

~~~~
New YORK, Nov. 5.-Mayor Hewitt has
become aroused by the aarival at this port
of steamships from the cholera-infected dis
trictS of Italy He has stirred up the
Health Board about the matter, and now
has writt,n "a letter to Health Officer
Smith, who has charge of the quarantine
management Of this port, and to President
Cleveland. The letter to the President is as
follows:
NEW YoRK. Nov. 4 fssI.
To the President:
SIR feel Il 70 be my duty TO call your atten-
ton 10 tAe fact that there is considerable immi-
grafton from Italy. where cholera at present
prevails 10 this country, and that ships bring
ing emigrants are destined, as rule, to the
port of New York. Already two ships nave ar
rived upon which cases of cholera have been
found to exist. The care of these passengers
and the responsibility for the ships is
committed by law to the Quarantine Com
mission, who are not under the jurisdiction
OF the United States or OF the city Of New York
They are State officers. There Is q feeling in
the community that greater care and efficiency
are necessary in order to protect this city, and
the country at large, from the consequences OF
the landing of passengers who may have germs
of the disease which may be developed at a
later date. Under the circumstances
It has been suggested that further hnlnIgTa-
tion at this time from Italy should be
prohibited. ] am perfectly well aware that no
such power exists aud even if it should be con
fered by Congress, its exercise would he an ex-
treme measure, but it has occurred t. me that
friendly representation made to the Italian gov
ernment might secure greater precaution in the
clearance of vessels from cholera regions, until
the disease has disappeared theretrom. The OBJ
iect Of this letter Is to commend the matter to
your attention. in the hope that it may lead to
such official action as it may be in your power to
take for the protection of the country from the
dangers and disasters OF an invasion Of cholera.
Yours respectfully,
ADRIAN S HEWITT, Mayor.
In his letter to Health officer Smith,
Mayor Hewitt calls Mr. Smiths attention to
the criticisms made by the Committee
of the College of Physicians, of Philadel-
phia, on the management and arrangements
of the quarantine station here, and suggests
that the defects be remediec. The Mayor
says that if lack of money stands in the
way of making the needed changes and inn
provements, he viii undertake, by an APP
peal to his fellow citizens, to raise any
reasonable sum by voluntary contributions
for the purpose of protecting the city from
the dangers of an invasion by cholera.

AGGRESSIVE VIOLENCE REpuD1ArED.

An extraordinary communication, signed
by Spies, Schwab and Fielden, disavowing
aggressive force" and deploring the loss
of life at the Haymarket, was given out to-
night for publication. 1t is addressed to
Gov. Oglesby, and is to be forwarded to
him with formal petition
for clemency. The guarded word
ing of the document is as
notable as its matter, particularly
as this is the first expression of the kind any
of the condemned Anarchists have made.
Parsons, it is understood, acquiesces in its
contents, and will address a separate letter
of his own to the Governor enh0dying the
same idea. Lingg, Engel and Fisher stead
fastly refused to go on record with any such
declaration. Following is the letter in full:

To Coz. Richard OoleSby, Springfield, H.:
SIR-ln order that the truth may be known by
you and the public you represent, we desire 10
state that we never advocated the Use OF force
except in case Of self defense. To accuse us of
having attcpUed 10 overthrow the law and gov
eiilnent on May 4, 1886, or at any other time, is
as false as it is absurd. Whatever we said or
did was said or done publicly. We have never
conspired or plotted to commit an unlawful
act. While we attacked the present social
arrangements in writing and in speech, and
exposed their iniquities, we have never CON
SciouSly broken any laws. So far from having
planned the killing of anybody at the Haymar-
ket or anywhere else, the very object of the
meeting was to protest against the commission
of murder. We believe it our duty as friends of
labor and libertyto oppose any Other, use of
force than in the necessary defense of sacred
rights against unlawful attacks. All our efforts
have been i'm the direction of ele
waiting mankind and to remove as much
as possible the cause of crime in society
Our labor was unselfish no motives of per-
sonal gain or ambition prompted us. Thou
sands and thousands will bear testimony to this.
We may have erred at times in our judgment
Yes, we have "loVed mankind not wisely but too
we'll If, in the excitement of propagating
our views, we were led into expressions which
caused workngmen to think that aggressive
regret it, We deplore the loss of life at the

Louis and at the Chicago stock yards. Very

the thought came to mo with much force
that If women had even half the courage
TO resist and correct wrongs that they
have to endure them, how many happy
homes there might be.

An announcement comes over the Com
mercial Cable that two general officers
have been removed from their com
mands in the French army. In the case
of General Grandjes the alleged cause Is
inefficiency, but the removal of General
Allan is clearly due to political reasons.
When commanding officer and pre-
feet get into public quarrel about the
disrespect shown to a visiting Cabinet
Minister by the army officer it is right
to replace the latter by general who not
only ignores politics bat who has pro-
per regard for the forms of courtesy
due from one official to another. If the
dry rot of politics should get into the
French army its efficiency would be seri-
ously endangered.
It is seen that the bulk of the speeches

It is seen that the bulk of the speeches
in favor of anarchists ars made in foreign
tongues. The English language is not
adapted to such work.
